<br />parcels or groups of parcels, based upon hydrologic data supplied by affected property owners, demonstrating an
<br />actual hydrologic response substantially different from the REF being used for the parcel. Such adjustment shall be
<br />made only after receiving the recommendation of the city administrator and shall not be made effective retroactively. If
<br />the adjustment would have the effect of changing the REF for all or substantially all of the land uses in a particular
<br />classification; however, such adjustment shall be accomplished by amending the REF table in section 58-196.
